A 1972 Thunderbird, yellow, vinyl roof, 429 4V, 99k miles. 95% original, the owner asking $5k. It was a great 20 footer, but was recently painted as a scuff-n-shoot and the bottom 6" everywhere was peeling. The car had surface rust all along the deck lid lip and inside the lid itself. The roof had bubbles under the new vinyl top, and you know what that means! Needed carpet, a driver's seat re-upholster, and a lot of cosmetics. The engine was blowing blue smoke on the LHS when it took off, so the engine would probably need a rebuild sometime. A true survivor, and I was quite interested. Unfortunately, I don't have the time and my body can't take the abuse anymore of restoring a car again.
